Visit to a flute maker

Forgot to say that we went to visit a flute maker on Wednesday, it was Jon Sherman, and he makes flutes from branches, called branch flutes. They are sweet and clear sounding, and we had such an interesting time meeting him and his wife.

Lary ordered a new flute that won't be ready for ages from him, we'll get it when we return this winter, he is very backed up with orders at the moment. Also met his wife Lindy who had been an ESL teacher, and she burned us a CD called Under the Oaks which is very lovely, combining bird calls and flute music. Superb, Jon is playing the flute and performing other music for the background accompaniment as well.

Very wonderful get together, and a super person. He plays his flutes and is very busy the month of April, it's Earth month or something, and he has a lot of gigs.
